Title

RUC Referral Item #071148 - Corn and Other Biofuels (NB)

Explanation

On April 14, 2008 the City Commission referred this item to the RUC.  On November 10, 2010, the RUC heard a status report from staff on the market penetration, carbon footprint, and cost volatility for a variety of alternative transportation fuels.  Staff reported they will continue to monitor developments in this area.   

Given that staff is monitoring a much broader scope of alternative vehicle fuels and technologies than referral item #071148, the RUC decided it was appropriate to remove this item from the referral list.

Recommendation

The Regional Utilities Committee (RUC) recommends that the City Commission remove this item from the referral list.
